However there were mistakes in my example. Notedly the string I supplied would break the header with superfulous \n end-of-line characters. The "safe" syntax would be.. $headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $headers .= "CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $headers .= "BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; In one continuous line. I do believe headers are case insensitive. HTH, Kevin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
